Adobe brings 1,500 new fonts to Creative Cloud

Older versions of some of these fonts were previously available in Adobe’s Font library, but were removed in January 2023 when the creative software giant ended support for Type 1 fonts, a system that uses the outdated PostScript file format. Now, Adobe says the new fonts are integrated into Creative Cloud at no extra cost — meaning that designers won’t need to pay Monotype to license them or download them locally onto their devices.

This update should result in “fewer frustrating missing font pop-ups” according to Adobe, which users may have previously encountered when trying to use fonts that were removed, or otherwise unavailable on Adobe Fonts or Creative Cloud apps. The font expansion also includes Times New Roman, Arial, and Proxima Nova, alongside options that support alphabets used by languages like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Hindi.
